Cousins' Dry Erase Boards

These are the dry erase boards that I made my young cousins for Christmas.

I didn't record the papers or any of the products that I used. I just enjoyed making them.

Cousin's Bookmarks - Christmas Gift

These are the bookmarks that I made for my 5 teenage female cousins as part of their Christmas gifts.

Their names are Autumn, Brooklyn, Carmyn, Darrien & Emma...yes, A..B..C..D & E.

I used scrap Bazzill cardstock from my scrap tote.

I used MFT's Die-namics Bookmark Duo, MFT's Die-namics Vertical Greetings and MFT's Die-namics Plentiful Petals.

I used Close to My Heart's Doodle Alphabet stamp set for the Monograms (discontinued) and MFT's Chalkboard Greetings stamp set with CTMH Black ink. I used Copic Black Pen .2 to hand draw the faux stitching around the monograms.

I also made my daughter and myself a book mark as well.

Thank you Danielle, for bringing your MFT stuff for me to play with during our October Scrap Day.

Snowman Tic Tac Kisses

I am participating in Heart 2 Heart Challenge Blog - Tinsel Time! - Use Silver, Lagoon & Black.

I have seen a few different styles of this Tic Tac Holder floating around on FaceBook and I wanted to give it a try.

I used Close to My Heart's Snowhaven paper packet with CTMH Lagoon cardstock & Silver Glitter paper as well as Bazzill Prismatic White cardstock.

To embellish the Tic Tac Holder, I used CTMH's Clear & Black Sparkles, Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities and Stampin' Up Silver ribbon.

The hat, holly, nose and arms were all just cut out by free hand. The face was just drawn on as well with CTMH's Marvy Journaling Pen.

Peaceful as Fallen Snow Christmas Card

I am participating in Unity's Colour & Sketch Challenge 23.

I am so excited to already have a Christmas Card stash for next Christmas and I am having fun playing with the BoBunny papers that I won on Scrapbook & Cards Today's Blog.

Of course,  I am also loving the fact that I am actually using stamps that I have ordered and not just letting them collect dust.

I made 3 of these cards for my stash.

I used BoBunny's Candy Cane Lane Collection 6 x 6 paper pad and 12 x 12 patterned paper with BoBunny's Charcoal & Sunflower Double Dot cardstock.

To embellish the card, I used Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Square Nestabilities, Marvy & EK Success Snowflake punches, Cloud Nine Rain Dots and Stampin' Up's Coral Calipso Baker's Twine.

I used Unity's ...like a snowflake & ...magic of Christmas stamp sets with Close to My Heart Slate ink.
